What gets increasingly difficult with age?
Nearing 42, I’m really appreciating what older generations claim about things getting more difficult as years tick by. Athletics-related difficulty began a decade ago, so I’ve long since given up on improving strength and endurance. My physical goals have even transitioned away from maintaining, focusing instead on limiting the inevitable downward acceleration. As goes the body, so goes the mind. It’s said, “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” The last couple years, I’ve been trying to learn the new trick of American Sign Language (ASL). I get a tinge of excitement whenever I see ASL featured on TV. With deaf actress, Millicent Simmonds, and a good deal of ASL in A Quiet Place Part II, I was bound to enjoy the film. Amazingly, this aging dog understood about ¾ of the signs without relying on subtitles. Granted the vocabulary was quite elementary—mostly what you’d learn in the first couple months of traditional ASL study. While learning a language certainly gets more difficult with age, this is confirmation it’s not impossible. Truthfully, this wasn’t the greatest film. I’ll still watch the forthcoming Part III, though. But they better not kill off Millicent!
